"That's right, after all, my father has a prime minister beside him."
Du He stood beside him and fell silent. As the son of Du Ruhui, he was also extremely smart, but on such difficult issues, the advice he gave was still old-fashioned.
After all, due to the limitations of the times, their suggestions could not be as broad-minded as Zhao Chen's later vision.
Historically, Du He, like Fang Xuanling¡¯s son Fang Yiai, both rebelled and were executed. However, time has not yet reached that point. Now Li Chengqian still wants to be a good prince.
"Your Highness, Wei Zheng, the supervisory censor, Zhongshu Ling, the school inspector, and Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong, are waiting outside."
"It's over, Wei Zheng and his uncle are here to urge me again."
Li Chengqian had a severe headache.
He didn¡¯t have any good countermeasures, and the flood was too big, so he had to wait until his father¡¯s decision was made.
But at this moment, another person came to report.
"Your Highness, your Majesty's letter has arrived."
Li Chengqian was suddenly overjoyed: "Quick, pass it on."
The guard came in quickly and handed over Li Shimin's letter.
After reading it, Li Chengqian couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Haha, I don't have to worry anymore."
When Du He saw Li Chengqian, who had a gloomy face, he suddenly became energetic and couldn't help but feel curious.
Your Majesty, what advice did you give the prince?
Li Chengqian said immediately: "Let uncle and the others come in."
Soon, Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji came in.
"See the prince's click."
"Uncle, please forgive me."
After Changsun Wuji saluted, he asked, "How is the prince thinking?"
This flood is also a test for the prince.
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Uncle, I already have an idea."
"First of all, the imperial court came forward and issued an imperial edict, asking local governments to start construction projects and absorb the victims to work. Each victim can get money and food as long as they work. In this way, they can be mobilized Those victims will be transferred to various parts of the country to reduce the pressure on Hedong Road in Henan Province."
Changsun Wuji¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°What a good idea.¡±
Wei Zheng was also impressed and said: "The prince is really resourceful, but there is also a problem here. What should we do with money and food?"
"It's simple. The money can be allocated by the court. As long as the project is started, the construction project requires a lot of raw materials and orders are running, and you can still make money. If you want to build bridges and roads, you can also let local aristocratic families participate in the shares."
Changsun Wuji thought for a while and realized that this was feasible.
"Then what if those aristocratic families don't take shares?"
Li Chengqian laughed: "Then build a toll station. If you pass this road, you need to collect tolls."
Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng were shocked, and there was light in their eyes.
Is this okay?
Although it sounds shameless, it is really effective!
The aristocratic families are originally local tycoons. Firstly, they are famous and profitable for building roads. Secondly, if they do not participate in direct toll collection, those aristocratic families will definitely not be able to bear it. Every time they charge for crossing, it is equivalent to a slap in their face.
This idea is incredible!
"What about food? How to solve the food problem?"
Wei Zheng asked.
"It's simple. At present, the imperial court, including the granary and treasury, and other government offices, don't have much food. But the imperial court doesn't have it, which doesn't mean that the aristocratic family doesn't have it."
Wei Zheng's spirit was shaken again. Did the prince mean to attack the noble family?
Changsun Wuji also had a light in his eyes, and the prince continued: "Tomorrow morning, I will announce that the Li family will take the lead in donating food, a total of 100,000 shi. At that time, each family will donate some."
After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Uncle, what do you think?"
Changsun Wuji laughed: "If it can solve the urgent need, I think the officials in the DPRK will agree."
Not long after, Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng came out of the East Palace.
As soon as he came out, Changsun Wuji looked a little worried: "Your Majesty's idea is too bold."
Those words of Li Chengqian, how could the two old foxes Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng not tell that they were said by His Majesty.
"It's obvious that the prince has received His Majesty's instructions.
Wei Zheng nodded: "However, the aristocratic family must have a lot of food, and we almost ignored it. Your Majesty is so??I am determined to make the aristocratic families spit out the food, but I don't know if those aristocratic families will spit out the food. "
"Your Majesty is using righteousness to force the aristocratic family to make concessions this time. The food will definitely be handed over, but this is a bit of an antagonism to the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family is still very influential among the people, and it will also affect the rebound of the aristocratic family."
There was worry in Changsun Wuji's eyes. His Majesty's use of floods to weaken the family's power was indeed a clever move, but it would also lead to disaster.
Wei Zheng said: "I'm curious as to how your majesty came up with this method. If you look at it from the perspective of floods, it can perfectly solve the problem of floods."
Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment: "It doesn't look like Xuan Ling's plan."
"Could it be said that there are experts around His Majesty?"
"Don't think so much, tomorrow morning should be wonderful."
¡¡
The next day, morning.
Prince Li Chengqian sat on the dragon throne, and the little eunuch next to him immediately began to announce the decree.
"The Emperor of Heaven has issued an edict saying: Henan Province is currently suffering from serious floods"
The civil and military officials below all listened to the imperial edict. When they heard that Li Chengqian took the lead in donating 100,000 shi of food, they all felt a little bad.
After reciting the imperial edict, Li Chengqian said: "My dear friends, this is not only the intention of the king, but also the intention of the father. Our Li family will donate 100,000 stones of food from the inner treasury, as well as ten pieces of silver." Wan Liang, I also hope that everyone will work together to help Datang overcome this crisis."
One hundred thousand shi of grain? One hundred thousand taels of silver?
Where did your Li family get so much food and money?
Are you kidding us?
What's even more amazing is that Li Chengqian actually asked the eunuch to come to each of the ministers holding paper, pen, ink and inkstone.
Changsun Wuji took the lead in donating without saying anything.
When they are in the court, they represent the family behind them. If they want to donate, they must donate.
Soon, it was the turn of Cui Yuanchu, an official of the Cui family in Qinghe.
There are actually not many officials from the five surnames and seven sects in the court, but they all exist as eyes and ears. After all, they have to keep track of the court's trends.
"Cui Aiqing, how much do your Cui family plan to donate? My father took the lead and donated 100,000 shi of food and 100,000 silver."
Cui Yuanchu was stunned: "Your Highness, my Cui family doesn't have much food."
Immediately afterwards, a second person stood up and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, this is a big mistake!"
Li Chengqian frowned and looked over. The person who jumped out was a representative of the Bolingcui family.
"How ridiculous?"
"Your Highness, I have never heard that a person of ninety-five years borrows money and food from me. This is unreasonable!"
Li Chengqian reprimanded: "This is a voluntary donation, how can it be borrowed?"
"Then, Your Highness, can I not donate?"
As soon as the words came out, all the officials looked at this man. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
